Have you ever needed to explain the loss of a loved one or friend to a young child? In her new book, "The Waiting Place," Mary Kay Milam explains the loss of Grandpa to her great-grandchildren using a most unique and comforting true story. Join Paige and Makenzie as they listen to Gummy... "It was Gummy's turn to tell the children's story at church. She used the basket of flowers to explain to the children how plants, seeds and all little creatures spend time in their own special WAITING PLACE." Later she explains, "When we feel sad, it's because we miss him. It's all right to feel sad, though..." You will not want to miss Paige's response to the end of the story. A comforting book for any age with a subject that is so difficult to explain.

Colorfully illustrated through-out, "The Waiting Place" comes with a CD.
